No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

After the incident of suppressing bandits, life gradually became calmer. After hearing Ji Qingyue's talk about raising some chickens, ducks and geese, Li Aniang rushed to the village to look for eggs.

Eggs are easy to find, but duck eggs and goose eggs are a little hard to find. They only have one big river. Raising these two kinds of poultry requires walking in the river regularly, so people here don't like raising ducks and geese very much. Aunt Li also ran away. Only a few duck eggs and two goose eggs were found in several places.

Considering that Ji Qingyue couldn't hatch eggs, Aniang Li asked the old hens at home to help. After the chicks and ducks were successfully hatched, they were carefully raised for a few days before being given to him.

If you raise them bigger, the chickens and ducks won't be too fragile and die young.

Sheep are easy to find. You can buy lambs at the homes of people who specialize in raising sheep in the village.

Li Erlang went out and brought back four lambs, one of which was a young ram. The four little lambs were fluffy and had childish cries. They kept bleating and jumped when they ran. Ji Qingyue's heart melted when he saw them.

Nowadays, the painting has changed a lot. From the outside, there is not much difference. That is, the open space is slowly being reclaimed as fields, and wheat, rice and corn are grown. But behind the thatched cottage, behind the hillside, and in the woods, there are different things.

Behind the thatched cottage is Ji Qingyue's first vegetable plot. From the small vegetable plot to the current large vegetable garden, it has expanded to the edge of the pine forest and cannot be expanded outside. The vegetable garden is surrounded by a wooden fence, and the vegetable border inside Square squares with different vegetables growing there.

Behind the hillside are orchards and cotton fields. Fruit vines and trees have been planted in the ground for more than half a year. Whether it is the climbing vines or the branches with branches and leaves, they are completely different from a few months ago. They are growing very well and are green. Abundant, I don’t know how long it will take before I can eat the fruits I planted.

Next to the orchard is his cotton field. Of the nearly a hundred cotton seeds harvested last time, only a small part was left as a precaution. The other cotton seeds to be sown were buried one by one on the hillside after drying. in the ground.

When the cotton branches began to grow taller, Ji Qingyue carefully cut off some branches that grew too upward to avoid getting the nutrients needed when the cotton was about to bloom and breed.

In addition, he has to pay special attention to the harvesting time of these crops. The weather is hot now and the growth cycle is too short. Wheat and corn take about one and a half months, rice takes two months, and cotton seems to be faster. It can be picked in a few days a month. .

In order to prevent the harvest periods from colliding and causing one person to be too late to harvest, Ji Qingyue specially made a timetable to remind himself of the harvesting and sowing times.

In the stream, the fish dropped in spring laid many eggs, and these eggs hatched into countless small fry. Four months later, the fry slowly grew up.

There was a barrier between them, and the water area was already small, so the small fish took up a lot of space when they grew up. Ji Qingyue did not expect that the small fish that seemed inconspicuous at first would now crowd the creek.

So Ji Qingyue had to expand the water area for fish farming and move the intercepted stones further downstream.

For the new chickens, ducks and geese, Ji Qingyue brazenly built a half-man-high fence under the pine trees next to the thatched cottage, and then divided the fence into two halves, raising chickens on one side and ducks and geese on the other. , there are so many chicks that ducks and geese are no match even if they unite.

The lamb's pen was set up in the pine forest upstream of the stream. In order to prevent the lively lamb from breaking through the fence, Ji Qingyue was very careful. He carved out a large area and inserted wooden strips deep into the ground to form a circle. , and then use rattan to wrap the wooden strips in circles for reinforcement.

The sheepfold was covered with a layer of dry pine needles. A small piece of slate was found and put into the sheepfold. The fresh thatch by the stream was cut and thrown on the slate. It became the lambs' dining table. Li Erlang brought him an old The water basin serves as a water trough for the lambs.

Finally, he used thatch to weave several straw curtains. He first laid thin wooden strips across the wooden strips on the sheep pen, and then spread straw curtains on the wooden strips. After they were fixed properly, the roof of the sheep pen was completed.

Ji Qingyue arranged everything in an orderly manner, and everything was slowly developing in a good direction.

Today is a big banquet at the Li family's old house to celebrate the 100th birthday and full moon of the two newborns in the family. The tables that cannot be placed in the yard can only be placed on the road outside the yard.

Grandma Li's family went to the old house to help before dawn, and the aunts who were familiar with each other in the village also came over early to prepare the banquet together.

The bundles of fresh vegetables in the basin are the most eye-catching. There are so many varieties, which are more eye-catching than the piles of bowls of meat.

Ji Qingyue brought these fresh vegetables out early in the morning. It was rare for him to get up early and pick vegetables in the dark. The weather is hot, and some vegetables can be harvested once a month. One person cannot eat them all, so he can only deliver them outside diligently.

A group of aunts gathered around the wooden basin to choose vegetables. They were all surprised when they saw the green vegetables. Although they also grow vegetables in their own vegetable plots, they are not as diverse and large in quantity as those brought by Aunt Li.

Aniang Li not only has a vegetable plot in the yard, but also cultivates vegetable plots in the farmland outside the yard and grows many vegetables. "These fresh vegetables were planted in the yard early, and they grew so well after being carefully served. They were originally intended for a banquet for the two children. Placing a stack of vegetable leaves on each table not only looks good, but also reduces expenses. no."

This is indeed the case. Vegetable leaves in the city are very valuable, and there are not many types. Some of them are the first time they have seen them.

In order to prevent everyone from getting suspicious, Li Aniang brought some vegetable seeds to Ji Qingyue and planted a lot of vegetables with Li Auntie in the yard. They followed what Ji Qingyue planted, but the land in the northwest was thin and not as good as in the painting. The vegetables are still not as long as those grown by Ji Qingyue, but they are much better than half-dead and malnourished.

"Which caravan did you buy these vegetable seeds from? Next time I go to the county, I can buy some and plant them."

Li Aniang had already made excuses with Ji Qingyue: "These are gifts from Ji Langjun. My Erlang helped him with some small favors, so he gave them to him casually."

"This Jilangjun first asked Xianglang to bring back the samarium knife, and then gave him vegetable seeds. What on earth did he do?"

Li Aniang: "He, he came from Lingnan, and now he has settled in the county. Maybe he is doing business in fresh vegetables."

"Hey, this must be a rich young man! Is Jirou-kun married?"

"Uh...not married yet."

The women chatted while working. As they chatted, they naturally turned to Li Erlang. Three times he suppressed bandits made him famous. I heard that not only Shandan County, but also the state capital had heard about it.

Many matchmakers came to inquire one after another. When they found out that Li Erlang was not married and had no marriage, they all laughed from ear to ear. They came to the door with their things a few days after returning. These days, the threshold of the Li family is almost crossed by people asking about marriage. .

Li Aniang's expression was stunned. She recalled that Li Erlang said that he did not agree to the marriage proposal, and almost made the matchmaker anxious and wanted to curse. There was no reason for not agreeing to the marriage, and someone who was full would rush to the door to propose marriage!

Not only was Aniang Li unable to explain clearly, Li Erlang himself was also unable to explain. After being chased by the matchmaker several times without success, everyone knew that Li Erlang did not want to get married.

"Could it be that Erlang already has his heart set on something, so he ignores the girl introduced by the matchmaker?"

Li Aniang thought it was impossible: "Erlang's temperament is just like this. He does what he says and doesn't do what he says. He is very stubborn. He said he would be busy growing garlic and wait until the family is stable before considering marriage. "

Only then did everyone remember that the Li family looked prosperous, but in fact it was not. There is a scholar named Li Sanlang in the family, who seems to be well-off. Previously, he encountered bandits cheating him of food, and I don't know if he has saved any money for Li Erlang's betrothal gift.

Studying is expensive, and getting married is not cheap either.

Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite...

Li Erlang, who was at the center of the gossip, knew nothing about this discussion. He was busy with his eldest brother and cousins. Several men moved the wine jars out of the cellar and prepared to get drunk at the banquet.

Ping Niang and Yueniang's natal families arrived one after another. They saw that the banquet prepared by the Li family was very attentive, both in terms of the number of tables and the dishes, which highlighted that their daughter was valued in her husband's family. Seeing that her daughter was living a good life, everyone naturally Rest assured and happy, the banquet atmosphere is naturally harmonious.

Li Erlang was happy, and as the enthusiasm for suppressing bandits continued, he was drunk a lot of wine. Half of the large jars of wine that were brought out ended up in his stomach. Ren had been drinking since he was a child and had a great capacity for drinking. After drinking until the banquet was over, he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.

In the end, Li Changji carried him back home.

The drunkard didn't make any noise when he was drunk, and stayed on his brother's back obediently.

Li Changji also didn't expect that the back that already belonged to Tuan Lang could carry a younger brother of his age again.

A bit heavy.

"Erlang is so happy. He loves children so much, why doesn't he want to get married earlier?" Li Aniang walked beside her two sons and looked at her sleeping second son, feeling puzzled.

Tuanlang was held by Aunt Li, who was neither noisy nor fussy. He was even a little sleepy after playing all day, and kept his eyes half-closed without speaking.

Father Li rarely showed sadness, and his words were a little distressed: "Although Erlang is thoughtful, he is not necessarily overly thoughtful. He said he didn't need to worry about Sanlang and Silang, but he still secretly handed over his savings to me."

"Dad and mother-in-law have decided to let Shiro go to the county to attend elementary school?" Li Changji glanced at his youngest brother, who still looked silly and innocent, "I heard that there is a dormitory for the elementary school in the county, in case Shiro can't get it. Go to bed, what should I do then, or go back to the village to study?"

Li Aniang looked left and right, carefully looked around to make sure there was no one, and then whispered: "I heard Erlang wanted Silang to stay at Yuelang's house. He guessed that Yuelang planned to support Yulang's education, so he also let Silang Let’s go together.”

Li Silang heard this and felt happy: "Seriously! Brother Ji A is going to take Yu Lang to the county?!"

"Shh! You should keep your voice down!! Yue Lang hasn't said anything about this yet, so it means it hasn't been decided yet. Don't let it slip to Yu Lang!!" Li Aniang was anxious and kept talking like a machine gun.

"Oh, I know! If I tell Yu Lang, it will be bad if he tells Brother Ji's story." He still understood this truth.

suddenly. Li Erlang, who was on Li Changji's back, heard the key words and muttered loudly: "Yue Lang, don't leave...!"

This shocked both Li Aniang and Li Changji, who were careful to speak.

Li Aniang said angrily: "This child, after having a quarrel with Yue Lang, still couldn't bear to let him go."

Li Changji nodded and bumped up his younger brother who had slid down: "Yue Lang cracked the secret of the bandit. He treated Er Lang and us very well. No wonder Er Lang has been reluctant to let go."

Meeting Ji Qingyue was good luck to their family and also to Ji Qingyue.

On the day when the Li family went to the village to prepare a banquet, everyone went out and Ji Qingyue woke up. Since the poultry and livestock were brought into the painting, there was more work to do every day. In addition to watering vegetables and feeding fish, There is also the work of feeding chickens, ducks and geese.

The mature rice has just been harvested, and rice grains inevitably fall off during the process, so the chickens can go to work.

Ji Qingyue felt no guilt at all about employing child labor. After getting up, he drove the chickens to the harvested fields and let them peck at the rice grains. The ducklings and goslings rushed to the stream. When they had enough fun, they would go ashore to dry their feathers.

While the rice grains were being dried, the new grain house was finally completed.

He asked Li Aweng many questions about grain storage and got a lot of advice on building a grain house. It took a lot of effort to build the grain house.

The grain house was built higher, larger and cylindrical than the house he lives in now. After the grains are dried and bagged, they cannot be placed directly on the ground. Instead, they must be stored on high shelves to avoid getting wet by moisture from the ground.

Nowadays, a wheat field is about more than 200 square meters, and one harvest can yield about a hundred catties of wheat, while rice is less. A similarly large paddy field can yield less than a hundred catties. In modern society, the yield of hybrid rice and super hybrid rice can reach an astonishing 81,000 kilograms per mu. Calculated, the yield of the rice he grew is less than 300 kilograms per mu.

Ji Qingyue was not very satisfied, but Li Erlang was shocked when he learned about this output. This was much higher than their yield of only two stones per mu, which was one plant per year. Moreover, Ji Qingyue's output was within a year. It can be planted four or five times, and the total output in a year can reach thousands of kilograms.

Indeed, the more Ji Qing understood this, the more he stopped worrying about reaching the astonishing 8,000 acres of yield. However, if possible, he would try to improve it a little more, as much as possible.

He then screened out rice seeds with plump ears, and opened up a paddy field for experiments, planning to screen them step by step and try to grow better-quality rice.

In the evening, Ji Qingyue collected the rice that had been dried for a day. After thinking about it, he could roughly judge whether the rice had been dried properly. The sun here is so powerful that it only takes five or six days to dry the rice.

Knowing that Ji Qingyue had to dry things often, Li Erlang always paid attention to the situation in the sky. If he found rain clouds drifting to their house, he would tell Ji Qingyue in time so that he would not be in a hurry.

With the weather in the northwest, there haven't been a few decent rains in a month. They all come and go quickly, and the ground doesn't get very wet.

After harvesting the rice, Ji Qingyue was sitting in the thatched cottage thinking about something when he heard the sound of the courtyard door opening. Everyone in the Li family came back.

"Quickly, quickly, carry Erlang back to the room and put him on the bed. Jilang has been carried all the way and he is going to die!"

When he heard this, he thought something had happened to Li Erlang, so he ran out and stood at the door of the study to visit. "Auntie, what's wrong with Erlang?"

Aunt Li waved her hand: "It's okay, he's just drunk! Have you had dinner?" She brought back some meat and vegetables from her sister-in-law's house.

Ji Qingyue had already eaten in the painting. He thanked Li Aniang, and after Li Changji put Li Erlang on the kang, he proposed to everyone the plan to move to the county at the end of the month.

Dad Li invited Ji Qingyue to the main room, "We can't interfere too much with your decision. There is only one thing. Can your aunt and I ask for your help?"

"Uncle Li, just tell me."

Father Li looked at his youngest son beside him: "Erlang had guessed that you were going to take Li Yu away. I guess Yuelang didn't want him to be a slave. I wonder if Yuelang would send him to elementary school?" Otherwise, he wouldn't be called Yulang. Then I went to the study to practice calligraphy.

Li Erlang guessed clearly what he was thinking.

Ji Qingyue nodded: "Well, I plan to send him to elementary school. For no other reason than to let him hide his identity for me."

"If that's the case, can you let Shiro go to the county to study for elementary school? Your aunt and I just want him to have a place to go when school is over. Of course, I will take Shiro's clothes and the rice and noodles he usually eats. He can make a fire and cook by himself, without Yue Lang having to worry about it. You live in an alley with your two children. Although you are surrounded by neighbors, there are no guarantees. With children as an excuse, we can move around more and let outsiders know that Yue Lang is not alone. .”

When Ji Qingyue heard about this, he immediately agreed. Since Aunt Li is worried that there are only two children at home, in addition to walking around more, he can also raise a dog to look after the house and the courtyard.

When Li Aweng heard that he wanted to get a dog, he quickly agreed and said: "I know where there is a good dog!!"

The next day Li Erlang woke up and found that Ji Qingyue had already set a time to go to the county. His family not only helped with suggestions, but also replenished the things that needed to be purchased.

Ji Qingyue had already set his sights on Li Yu, but Li Yu didn't know it yet. Whenever he had free time, he would go to Shilang's house to check in and go to work, and follow them to weed the fields and water them in exchange for a dinner.

Shiro always seems to be in high spirits recently, and he has endless energy when working. What makes Li Yu find it strange the most is that his friend always stares at him with unknown meaning. Whenever he asks the reason, his friend is always mysterious. He shook his head, and then pretended to be serious and said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."

Li Yu: "Are you feeling uncomfortable in your head?"
